Drua Experience

Original Fijian Sailing

"Sailing across the beautiful blue waters in the tropics is what dreams are made of. We felt safe the entire way, the crew went the extra mile to ensure we were enjoying it. We even had an opportunity to sail this amazing vessel!! A++++"​ Michelle M, TripAdvisor

Our Ship

Built as a scale replica of the only surviving Fijian drua 'iVola Sigavou' is the only ship of its kind. Learn the secrets of this proud voyaging canoe by taking part in the sailing of her. In full commercial survey, she is a triumph of a vessel and pays homage to the design widely regarded as the greatest battleship of the Pacific, the drua.

Our Crew

All experienced sailors and navigators, the crew of 'iVola Sigavou' are set to impress. All, in their own right, have voyaged the Pacific on various expeditions and recall tales of their exploits even they find hard to believe. All the crew have different areas of expertise, including shipping logistics, environmental conservation, traditional boat building and wayfinding. All have found a dream come true in revitalising the proud seafaring culture of their ancestors.

Your Experience

​We want you to take part! Sharing in the knowledge and experience of sailing a traditional canoe is a thrill and everyone that ventures onboard will take away a different and unique memory. We pride ourselves in flexibility, so whether you'd like to handle the uli (steering paddle) or sunbathing or fishing off the reefs or snorkelling on them we can tailor an experience for you.
